This is my second consultation after yestarday, (I have Major Depression that i'm treating with Zoloft), and i have also chronic migraines, I took Codeine, I misused it and got addicted to it for 1.5 years. Then i stopped it, but the withdrawals were horrific, so I was put on Subutex (1-2)mg per day, I’ve taken it only for three months.
Now, I’m 31 days of Subutex and i'm still experiencing (withdrawals) severe insomnia, feeling general discomfort and fatigue, lack of energy and motivation, I've tried all medications know to men (All benzo, Klonopin, Ambien, Clonidine, herbal remedies, Multivitamine, B-complex, and even pot), without much relief. Then today after a migraine attack, i took 200mg of Tramadol (that i reserve in extreme emergency as it's addictivce), but all of a sudden, it's magic, i was relieved from it all. But then i read a horrifying information on the internet stating that: (Taking Tramadol during Subutex withdrawal will rest you at square one in terms of withdrawal) . I have two questions
1. is it true that taking Tramadol rests my withdrawal at square one ?
2. I have chronic migraine, my doctor refuses to give me Triptans he says they're dangerous, so what's the frequency/dosage of Tramadol that i can take without risking addiction ?
I'm in pure agony please help !!
